We can not truly nourish our bodies without nourishing our souls. We can be eating all the healthiest foods and not be healthy if we are not nourishing our souls. We can be doing all the good works as possible without nourishment to our souls this all is in vain. Healthy living can not be set aside from our walk with God. God is our creator and provider. He is the true source of life!

6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. [a]
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.
